- Although a lifelong Liverpool supporter, Peel frequently accompanied wife Sheila Ravenscroft (and occasionally one or more children) to Portman Road to watch Ipswich Town . Although originally a follower of her local team Bradford Park Avenue in her early years, Sheila had become a keen supporter of the club following the couple's move to East Anglia. John would later admit how important the team had become to her: "After she was ill a few years ago, it has been Ipswich Town that have contributed a great deal more to her rehabilitation than I certainly did, and I owe the team an enormous debt of gratitude for that." (24 October 2001) Peel would often mention his visits to Ipswich Town and their results (see Football (Known Matches Attended) and Football (Matches Mentioned)). On the programme of 30 October 1993, Sheila supplied a guest review of the Ipswich v Everton game that had just been played that afternoon. The DJ's devotion to Liverpool caused a degree of friction in the Peel household, particularly in the two seasons from 2000-02 when Ipswich were in the Premier League and the two sides had to play each other. As fate would have it, Ipswich's final match of the Premier League season 2001-02 was a visit to Anfield. The result was a crushing 5-0 defeat, which relegated Ipswich only one year after they had surprised the football world by finishing fifth in their first season back in the top flight . In the reverse fixture earlier that season, Liverpool had thumped Ipswich 6-0 at Portman Road . Similarly, East Anglian rivalry with Norwich City occasionally proved to be the source of discontent if results did not go the way of the Suffolk club. Despite this, Peel remained friends with celebrity cook and long-time Norwich co-owner Delia Smith. After Peel's death in 2004, Town Chairman David Sheepshanks paid tribute on the Official Club Website: "It's utterly tragic to hear of the death of John Peel. I will always think of John as one of life's good guys and for me a kind of hero since his pirate radio days. A delightfully gentle and modest man, he was a dear friend to the Club and although his first allegiance was to the red of Liverpool, his wife Sheila and many other friends in Suffolk succeeded in nearly turning him blue and white! On behalf of everyone at Portman Road I send our deepest sympathy to Sheila and all of John's family." [1]
